Collaborative Work Management provider Mindjet® recapped 2011 as a momentous year marked by the company’s launch into the collaboration space, major product launches and double-digit growth. Mindjet also excelled in the mobile apps space with iOS® and Android® introductions, adding over one million new mobile users. New product releases propelled greater than 20 percent increase in booking s and continued sales momentum throughout 2011, and the signing of marquee customers Bayer, Credit Suisse, Dow Chemical, HSBC, Nokia and Volvo. At the close of the year, Mindjet’s paid user base reached two million, including 83 percent of Fortune 100 companies.

According to research by LexisNexis®, 62 percent of workers in every market admit that the quality of their work suffers at times because they cannot sort through the information they need fast enough. Today’s increasingly virtual office, running at a feverish pace, adds to the list of challenges commonly faced by teams – often leading to lost productivity, as well as profits. The ability to collaborate, set goals and execute against them requires more than simple document management and file sharing. Singular task management solutions address only the back end of dilemma, making a complete solution that much more critical.

Mindjet Connect®, the platform that helps generate ideas, organize information, and store and share data, is designed specifically to create plans and drive them through execution. Mindjet added critical task management capabilities to the platform in late summer 2011 through its acquisition of Cohuman®.

“2011 was a pivotal year for us,” said Mindjet CEO Scott Raskin. “Nearly every company I speak with faces challenges creating plans to support their goals and empowering their people to take the right actions in a coordinated fashion. The ability for teams to visualize and execute on their plans in an accessible and usable environment has flat-out not existed. Mindjet is the first company to bridge the divide. Our financial success in 2011 and healthy user base is proof of market demand.”
